Locomotor activity The Locomotor activity (Pákáski and Kálmán‚ 2008) refers to the movement of spontaneous locomotor and exploratory activity in rodents. LMA is a simple performed measurement of behavior to detect the effects of drugs‚ genetic manipulation‚ etc.‚ on motor function by measuring horizontal‚ vertical and stereotyped behavior in rodents. Several measures of locomotor activity in rats‚ including the distance covered‚ movement time and speed of progression. This test is sensitive to

WHAT IS HARM REDUCTION? Harm reduction is a set of practical strategies intended to reduce the negative consequences of high risk behavior such as over drinking or drug abuse. Harm reduction is a non judgmental approach that attempts to meet people where they are at with their drinking or drug abuse. Instead of demanding perfect abstinence‚ this pragmatic approach is supportive of anyone who wishes to minimize the harm associated with a high risk behavior such as drinking or drug abuse. Harm

experiment of making borneol from camphor (FIGURE-3) is performed in two different methods‚ Sodium Borohydride Reduction and Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction‚ to compare the relative product ratio of borneol to isoborneol. The concept of reduction and also oxidation‚ the opposite procedure of reduction‚ deals mostly with electron transfer between atoms. It will not be elaborated here‚ but the reduction procedure involved in this experiment is basically adding hydrogens and losing the carbon-oxygen double

Preparation of food takes a lot of time. Even if the dish is only composed of fruits. A lot of dishes have vegetables in them. These can also be useful especially when preparing lots of different food at the same time. If you look at cooking websites they will suggest to use lemon water. In our experiment we will attempt to find out which is better at preserving the sliced‚ chopped‚ and or diced food. Since our experiments are limited by time and costs‚ we will stick to the simplest of the available

increased the amount of carbon dioxide being released into our environment. The team of researchers also discovered that magnified pyrite (commonly known as fool’s gold) oxidation created acidity that allowed carbon dioxide into our oceans and altered the Earth’s carbon cycle. Over a time period of 10‚000 years‚ glacial oxidation could have altered the concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere by nearly

The Determination of the Effect of pH on Amylase Activity Grace Chung Abstract: Amylase is an important enzyme in the human body as it allows for the consumption of starch by breaking the polysaccharide down into maltose units. All enzymes‚ including amylase‚ function best at a certain optimal pH. Therefore‚ in this experiment‚ the effect of different pHs on the reaction rate of amylase is studied. It was hypothesized that the amylase-starch reaction would proceed fastest at a pH closest to
